I didn't realize that adding a net would not just give the kids more playing time but it helped bond us more as a group. I have 1 net with the beginners so I can help them learn skills and another with the advanced kids so they can be pushed. I have my period 3 put up the 2 nets and we use them, then we leave them up for lunch and the whole school uses them and then we take them down after my last period. They have actually supported 280+ students.\r\nMy students were excited to see that we got an additional net and they were excited to use the scoreboard as well. The kids love to keep score using it. \r\nI was really struggling as a new PE teacher and my students seemed a little divided. By putting up the nets together and taking them down daily we have bonded more. We are still very limited in supplies at our school and I am hoping to get more for other sports. I have learned to give the students more responsabilities (like putting up nets), which actually has helped them gain ownership and pride for our class.\r\nMahalo NUI for providing this opportunity for us.
